  1. Corporate Jargon - Boil the ocean. Generally, it is used when undertaking something that is daunting, especially within timetables. #jargon #boiltheocean #business #corporatelife #unrealistic

  2. More than♦️ $247 million was spent in the first six months of this year on television, streaming platform and digital ads ♦️that mention #immigration, according to AdImpact, which tracks campaign advertising.

    That is $40 million more than ads that mention any other issue.

    Over 90 percent of the ads supported #Republican candidates and were paid for by their campaigns or political action committees backing them.

    The level of spending underscores 🔸how important Republicans view border security and immigration 🔸in this year’s elections.

    While polls show voters overall rank issues at the border as less important to them than the economy, inflation and protecting democracy, Republican voters consistently rank it as among the most important.

    Taken as a whole, the ads convey an #unrealistic portrait of the border as being #overrun and inaccurately characterize immigrants generally as a threat,
    -- of which there is little evidence.

    FBI data show U.S. border cities are among the nation’s safest.

    And a 2023 report from a group of economists found immigrants are at least 30 percent less likely to be incarcerated than U.S.-born individuals
